Murder at the University - Faith Martin
She read
When a body of an attractive young woman is discovered in her room at St. Anselm College in Oxford, Detective Hillary Greene doesn’t know what to expect. A single needle mark on the body along with some bruising, as well as a closet full of high end clothes, raise Hillary’s suspicions and soon the hunt is on for a killer.
Meanwhile, Hillary is dealing with a lot of personal issues. Her deceased husband was found to be a “bent copper” leaving her with legal and financial issues as she finds herself living on her uncle’s longboat. To make it worse, she has to work with her husband’s questionable former partner and the officer who investigated her possible role in the misdeeds is transferred to her division.
This is Book 2 in a twenty book series. I thought I had read it as I have finished a number of the Hillary Greene stories. When I looked at it closer, I hadn’t.
Faith Martin writes absorbing British police procedurals and this one is no exception. The story is engrossing and entertaining with good character development. Hillary is a strong, capable leader. I really enjoy the humor expressed in Martin’s writing.
I recommend this series for anyone seeking lighter British police procedurals with engaging characters.
